Jeep Bryant:

I am retired from a 32-year career as physicist/engineer with Hoechst Celanese Corp. (Celgard for advanced batteries) and live with wife, Nancy, on a farm (3 Eagles Sanctuary) south of Albemarle, NC on the Pee Dee River. The farm is permanently protected through a conservation easement with the Landtrust for Central NC and it includes agricultural fields, wildlife field borders, forests, beaver ponds and wetlands. I recently canoed nine days and 180 river miles from the farm to Georgetown, SC on the coast, Tom Sawyer style.

I was founding chair of the Catawba RiverKeeper, Inc. and am founder/advisor of the Yadkin – Pee Dee RiverKeeper, Inc. (Re: Boys State --- “Bull Moose Party” activists live on J). In addition to farm and many other environmental activities together with Nancy, I am involved in church ministries, including the Via de Cristo movement, and recently served on a Kairos prison ministry team.
